Seven Waters

Seven old preoccupations: Drinking, irrigating, navigating, fishing, swimming, baptising, harvesting. Eternal wisdoms that water communicates to all who touch it. Filmed at seven unusual locations in Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. The reflections of the protagonists in Seven Waters are drawn directly from their contact with the liquid element. For them, physics and metaphysics are still entwined. This might at first glance seem old-fashioned, but in fact, in this 21st century, it is extremely avant-garde.
